I'd like to use AppleScript to do some things with the Find panel. There doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the AppleScript dictionary. I'm pretty sure that I can accomplish what I want by using GUI scripting, but that's generally an unpleasant task and I'd prefer to avoid it if possible. Any suggestions?

... You are right, at the moment the find panel is not yet scriptble unfortunately. We will look into that for a future version. All the best, Martin

You are right, at the moment the find panel is not yet scriptble
unfortunately. We will look into that for a future version.
